Story
Based on international teams (with fictitious player names), their skills in each area are rated with 10 points to give the player an overall impression of how good they are. The available options are standard: fouls and offsides can be turned on and off, the duration of the game can be set, and whether the timer runs continuously or only when the ball is in play. The game favors quick runs, short passes and brilliant shots outside the penalty area. Play figures are controlled by moving a box into the target area for the ball and then passing, lobbing or kicking directly. On the tactical side, formations can be selected, with 5 different strategies available (although not all of these combinations are useful), as well as team coverage - the areas covered by defenders, midfielders and strikers.
